What is the S35 model? What years were they produced?

Thanks.


1964 and 1965

WACO - We are all here, because we are not all there.

B,

We're (two of us) looking at the 150+ knot range, 4-5 seats, IFR &
autopilot, ~$100-125k.


That's easy: Socata TB-20 Trinidad. See www.socata.org both for a great
user community and some offers.

You won't find anything as spacious and modern (recent design, not too
old airframe) anywhere else in that price range. With a bench seat in
the back, it will seat five, although the usual weight limitations
apply. We're talking about a design from the late 70s, early 80s, and
an aircraft from the late 80s, early 90s. And it shows.

If you don't care about age, a Bo comes to mind. A Rockwell 114 might
be an option, too.

Love the airplane, but hate the headroom.

Mike,

Love the airplane, but hate the headroom.


Never been an issue for me, but that obviously depends a lot on body
size and seating posture. Also, on the GT model, headroom is increased.

One obviously needs to try before investing 100k, but an airframe 25
years younger than the Bo also discussed in the thread would mean a lot
to me. Two doors and a more modern design, too.

Folks,

I'm starting to research my next plane.

Is anyone aware of a book that lists, or better yet, groups by
similarities, piston single aircraft for performance and specification
research?

Any suggestions are welcome. A website would be OK, too, but I'd
actually prefer printed material.

Thanks!


Note a book but...

Oh and I forgot to mention it has this page.

where you can enter the specs you are looking for and it will give you a
list of matching planes.

The only problem with that one is that you can't enter the number of
seats or payload, but other than that it is pretty good.

Great suggestions, so far.


Thanks!

It would be a lot more useful if you could say for example twin or
not, retractable gear or not, tailwheel or not. 200+ results with a
bunch of twins isn't that useful to me...

Yes it would be nice as would being able to set the number of seats. But
for the cost it is the best I've been able to find.
